White Fir (Abies concolor) 'Charming Chub' is an adorable dwarf conifer that features a beatiful blue color and tight, rubbery soft foliage. This dwarf was named for Chub Harper, an avid promoter, collector, and explorer of conifers. The gorgeous color and slow growth rate of only 2-3 inches per year allows this conifer to shine in gardens of any size! Use in garden beds or borders, irrigated rock gardens, Japenese style gardens, the edge of woodland or shade gardens, or speciality plant or conifer gardens.
